Rate the AEW DynamIte!: 1/19/2022

[holyshida]

Gave it a 9

- 2 excellent promos with Mox and Cody. Its great having Mox back and having him open the show was 100% the right call

- Opening mixed tad had some fun spots

- House of black and Serena Deeb looked strong. I can't think of a better Women's wrestler than Deeb off the top of my head in America

- Fun main event. Someone needs to find proof that Sting is 60+

I have to give it a hard 10. For me, that was as perfect as two hours of wrestling television gets.

The only thing I will say, though, is that Orange needs to win the lights out match or he’s officially at JTTS status for the time being.

I'll give it a 3, mostly off the strength of the first half hour or so. From the Britt table spot on the show just dropped like a stone in quality, really felt like a chore to get through tonight.

Bruh, respectfully? I feel like we watched two different shows tonight.

I mean, from what I’ve seen a 3 is like the ceiling for the best possible episode of Raw these days…and - with the caveat that I know I tend to be biased toward AEW - this definitely didn’t feel like that.

Not knocking your opinion…I mean. It’s yours. I respect it.

I just respectfully disagree.

8. Just a fun entertaining wrestling show.

[asuka007]

I’d say an 8. The Mixed Tag match was fun. But the finish was wonky and this feud is WAY too one sided at this point. Also Statlander is awesome, let her WIN AEW.

Moxley’s promo was awesome.

Punk vs. Spears was solid.

Main event was fun.

Deeb vs. Blue did what it needed to do.

Jake is back.

Leyla Hirsch being used more finally.

But there were too many squashed.

Cody is still meh imo.

Archer vs. Frankie was weird.

Etc.

So mixed bag.

[markymark]

Million times better than last week because the only time crowd barely cared was Kaz vs Archer which was long, unlike last week which felt dull.

[Cyno]

Weird, but fun show. I'll give it an 8. Kaz vs Archer was the only thing that dragged.

I gave it an 8. The Archer/Kaz match went way too long, but I did like the after-match angle with Hangman.

Everything else was pretty great. Loved Mox's opening promo and was glad to see a lack of interruptions, run-ins, and just general shenanigans. I liked that they had more wrestlers just do short promos to the camera and basically respond to each other that way as it flows better and makes more sense.

Agreed. Archer and Kaz going long was the low-point for me but Hangman making the save was awesome.

The women backstage segment along with Serena squashing Skye brought back the crowd, props to the women division tonight.

[asuka007]

I want to like Jade more. But she just is not that impressive in anything except looking good,

They had better keep her vs. Anna short.

[Celgress]

Another 7 out of 10, IMHO.

The good thing about the Lights Out match is that it doesn't go on the record. Cole can lose but still be top of the rankings.

[Mid-Carder]

I don't know what it was, maybe I just wasn't in the mood, but I really enjoyed the first half and then the second half really seemed to dragged. Maybe Cody just soured me for the rest of the night.

The mixed tag was really fun, I'm not seeing much talk about it. 

[markymark]

All matches ended up clean, and only 1 post match brawl last night, someone that critics about the overused of wrestling tropes were heard.

[King Devitt]

Barely watched: I caught clips of the Mox and Cody segments on YT. Both were stellar.

You are the harshest critic in the world haha.

Sorry, but the date is wrong.

9/10. Great rebound from what I thought was a poor showing last week.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I went 9. I really enjoyed the show. I think the only thing I genuinely hated was Cody's rambling. I'm over him and not in a good way. AEW's outgrown Cody.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

Some legit great stuff in there - even in some of its worst segments, because my favourite thing was Archer feuding with a small girl but that all ran far too long.

Also I am hyped for Leyla getting pushed. And numerous heel women being built suggests Britt losing soon.

But apart from that? A patchy, kinda slow despite being hectic episode of Dynamite. And the crowd were surprisingly quiet for a lot of it, is DC usually a bit dead?
